Fortunately, there is a wide variety of destinations that are considered safe and not least: fun/ShutterStock
These days, choosing a vacation destination is influenced by a wide range of considerations such as the distance, the weather in the destination country, the attractions and of course the price.
But to the usual considerations that influence the choice of a vacation destination is added another consideration, which has become more central than ever: choosing destinations that do not have travel warnings.
The good news is that in addition to destinations where the threat level is high (and therefore according to the National Security Headquarters they should not be reached), there is a wide variety of destinations that are considered safe and no less important: fun. We have compiled for you some of the most prominent destinations that are worth checking out.
Belgrade - an equal historical gem
The Serbian capital city is a destination that is perhaps considered a little less known among the Israeli audience, and we have a feeling that this may change soon.
Belgrade combines sights and ancient buildings, a lively entertainment experience and affordable prices.
The city is embedded in centers of interest with a historical flavor, where hammams were built back in the days of the Turks, a citadel from the 14th century, the Cathedral of Saint Saba, which is considered one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, and more.
In addition to ancient sights, you can spend time in the cobbled Skardelia district, which creates a romantic atmosphere, visit museums and galleries, grab greens in the parks and go on a shopping spree at the Kenz Mihailova pedestrian street.
